Drawing fur

[@D17rulez]

Hi GoldieLoqs, maybe I have a tip for you :) When you are working on shading or anything like that, try to draw your shading in layers. Just keep adding layers with not to much pressure on your pencil and eventually you will get darker tones etc. Like for example a shadow on skin, I first fill it with my 2H pencil in a few layers and then I add a layer with my 3B pencil. I hope this will help you.

the fur looks so real>>>>>keep it up man>>>this is simply aweome

[@jenlo1111]

the 0.5 pencils really do work the best for fur and hair or just thin lines in general i bought one and now my dog drawings look more realistic i do recommend this mechanical pencil very much

[@Skooterbird]

What a pleasure it was to watch you work. Your work truly is amazing...TFS your wonderful talent with us. For me to only have a fraction of your talent would take me to the moon and back with happiness...Take care, Pat

[@LovingElision]

Its amazing How a simple blank piece of Paper can become into something so beautiful

[@manganights]

I enjoy all of your videos. I really like learning new techniques with your lessons. I am recovering from several strokes and have not drawn lately. Your videos help motivate me to draw. Thanks.

[@jennifertulley4513]

That's a good thing to keep in mind. I have a tendency to hold very close to the tip of the pencil, so I'll remember this next time I attempt at shading. The only problem is that you have less accuracy when holding farther up on the pencil, but that's not always a big deal when shading.

[@zeester0101]

AMAZING! always worth it to watch the whole video, because its so cool to watch you draw.

[@sambeawesome]

I admire your patience, you are extremely skilled. It's a beautiful drawing, thank you for sharing :)

[@JGsk8s]

dude this is awesome, i love the nose man, it almost looks like you actually took the nose off a dog and put it on your paper, it's awesome.

[@AresTechDirector]

Now that is something amazing I've seen in a while.. You are definitely a hard working fellow...

[@dancinkitty77]

I don't usually draw animals, but you make me want to try more! I am going to try harder now! Thanks!!

[@jennifertulley4513]

This is a very helpful tip, as I've had the same problem. I have often found myself shading it in too dark, which gets quite frustrating after a few tries. Anyways, thanks for uploading this video!! I've only been drawing shorthaired things lately to avoid the fur, as I've not much experience with it, but after seeing this I'm determined to practice and hopefully improve. P.S: Your drawing is beautiful, you're very talented!!

[@bobos07]

Wowww... amazing! All you artists make it look so easy when it's not!

[@narcovice]

thats a very beautiful dog love the fur

[@Misterbietje]

dit is verbluffend werk ! jij was men inspiratie om ook fotorealistisch te beginnen tekenen !!! ondertussen door vele van je tips en filmpjes enzo lukt het me ook al aardig goed :-) thank you !!!! grtzzz vanuit belgië !

[@melanietruth]

Beautiful work, such fine detail! Thanks for the video.

[@morgoth2001]

this is a beautiful drawing! I've only drawn people but am wanting to start drawing animals as well and seeing you draw has helped me get an idea of how to accomplish that. Thank you! :)

[@NishikoRyuu]

Very nicely done! It's also funny how you use a sheet of paper to protect your lines. I do so, too, but my arts teacher always wanted us to hover our hands above the paper, which was a total pain x3 It's nice to see that even professionals don't use this "technique".

[@iriserisblood]

Wow this fur is too beautiful *_* !! like it

[@Nicky_G_Music]

or she may be using a 9xxb graphite pencil. it's the darkest graphite available. i got one yesterday from the art store, kimberly sells them. they are amazing

[@TheMultiTaskMan4EvEr]

your picture is amazing and i like the way how you take your time to get the picture just right. you've also shown me how to draw fur. thank u :)

[@Emaree13]

I hate how you make this look so easy. Love your work!

[@Detail8585]

Beautiful! You have an excellent touch

[@LuisHazlip]

....amazing...hown in the ...hell ...that fur looks so real....

[@WolfDragonSpirit]

OMG i'm so jealous of your talent... I wish I could do fur like that.... I guess I could..If I did lots of practising..

[@yeaitsjusme]

you really drew every single fur ! O_o wow !

[@darrelsteinback4239]

this is very helpful, im gonna try to draw my cairn terrier, mitzy, i hope she will look as cute as urs does! thx a bunch

[@akhilez]

I'll surely send you a video when I make an art of this kind... I was thinking to draw a pic of my dog (scooby) so I thought of watching some tips, and got a wonderful video!! thankyou so much!!

[@ivansutton]

I think you're right.. just googled it and it looks so dark.. Awesome.. thanks for the info..

[@UF0_1]

amazing... I agree with a previous poster. Fur really gives me hell. You make it look very easy.

[@TechInfusion]

Yes you are an amazing drawer!!! I wish I could have you as a teacher

[@Angelicagarsha93]

Wow I wish i could draw like you ! This is amazing!

[@fanofd17rulez]

Im a big fan of yours!!!!! Keep up with the good work

[@BarbarianGod]

Masterfully done! I've been looking for a good video on drawing fur! Could you possibly do a detailed tutorial on various types of fur and how to draw them? Or recommend one?

[@naishe]

This is a great. Can you tell me what is the specification of the pencil that you used? Also, I saw you used something to smudge, highlight the eye reflection, and some pencil to darken certain areas. What are those pencils?

[@Meganlbernard]

Wow that looks so good! I tried many times to draw like that and I just don't have the talent!

[@stephsmith9202]

This is such an amazing piece of work

[@D17rulez]

@julliaH Thank you! I use 200 g/m2 paper of some kind of unknown brand. Yes I use my mechanical pencil a looot. Technica-X is really good!!

[@heinzmatiasschweitzer6720]

wooow dude you are asome.... can you tell what are those weird pencils..... one of them was white and the other was black i want to buy them... can you tell how they call ? ´pls.... still drawing you are awsome

[@suehulen8319]

Stunning!! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent.

[@andreawatson3654]

Thank you for sharing your work! I enjoyed it immensely and I will practise doing it. Many thanks! :)

[@mittenstheninja626]

Wow. This certainly helped me with my fur-drawing problems.

[@NoirChatt]

Cool vid I'm also going to college for art .I'm thinking realism cause I love making details come out in drawings great work

[@Koakoa45]

Think in negatives. You actually draw dark in the shadows and leave the rest light.Some people do go back with erasers and remove the dark to make lines also. But... put in your shadows, then darken areas "between" the fur. Basically think and draw in negative :D

[@ristomx]

CONGRATS, good job and talent

[@pingo6able]

on a side note, unless your going for barely at all on the paper, (ima use a pencil) hold the pencil closer to the back, the farther away the less pressure. but sometimes you need extremely light pressure, this isnt good for that :/

[@narcovice]

wow that is beautiful think ill practice hair and fur

[@ACDCandGNR1]

Wow great work. nice video it was very helpful for someone who is just starting to try realism art.

[@Olliejames17]

That looks real!

[@worldwidetapestries]

So detailed and beautiful..

[@rynn8982]

I don't know why but I always draw sideways. It is amazing . Gifted.

[@ravenstar8855]

O.O awh mah gawd. U soo good!!!!!!

[@D17rulez]

This drawing took around the 25 hours to finish.

[@TheChosenFox]

Holy sh**! I am truly impressed. That's all I can say, I'm speechless.

[@ACDCandGNR1]

could you do a video on the techniques you use for long fur and short fur. I would appreciate any help because I've looked everywhere trying to find something explaining the best technique for drawing fur.

[@2ndfloorgardens]

so what you did basically was outline the dog very lightly. draw the nose and eyes very detailed, and then filled in the rest of the dog with the fur?

[@D17rulez]

@alex03pet Thank you! I'm glad they could help! Yes I have. The link to my deviantart account is on my youtube profile.

[@snailz1998]

You are amazing I wish I could draw like you

[@iBlingasaur]

Hm, ok, now that is just amazing. So you basically draw every strand of hair. Wow... But how do you keep the highlighted or lighter stands NOT white? Those pieces would still be shaded a little bit, correct? To keep the hairs away from being absolutely white, (though part of the contrast)? For example, the hairs of the farthest away ear... When I try to shade the fur, the individual hairs are blended together...

[@D17rulez]

@Renesen94 I'm 20 now. I started drawing realism at the age of 15 and taught everything myself ^^

[@D17rulez]

Thank you very much! I draw realism for 8 years now.

[@PhilDuggs]

@BlazinRedxDragon well no , the fur around the snout is usually shorter and as you move up nd out increase the length of the sgrokes

[@robinalexander377]

That is beautiful. I want to be that good . What do you use on the nose and the eyes.

[@reemara]

thanks for sharing, is it better to always have a reference photo?? or just randomly imagine the fur and try to draw it??

[@leeludlowart237]

Lovely work.

[@RikuAxelCloud]

*jaw drops* You are amazing...

[@georgia8nora]

For everyone asking about the pencils used, I went to her Deviant Art link: 2H, 6B, 0.5 mm mechanical pencil, Tortillion for blending, kneaded eraser

[@MaZEEZaM]

Georgia Baker Thank you, I thought it was probably a 6B

[@ChrisLogan787]

Where in the world did you find 6B lead refills? I’ve looked everywhere.

[@rednecklowlife]

very impressed...artist like you inspire me to keep drawing and learning. learning is a never ending prosess. thank you for your help!

[@D17rulez]

@ErikaSA123 I used 2H pencil, 6B pencil, 0.5 mm mechanical pencil, Tortillion for blending, kneaded eraser, regular eraser and 200 g/m2 paper. I hope this can help you :)

[@craftgaming4274]

I have the same dog in red too

[@schwarzwindDarken]

Im MAsterDarken from DA,

[@jennifertulley4513]

Quite true, it's outstanding.

[@darkman619x]

thank you for the awesome video , very helpful ! can u tell me please what type of lead you used for this drawing ? !

[@akhilez]

most patient man on the planet

[@D17rulez]

Thank you! I used 200 g/m2 paper, A4 size

[@fanisviolentis]

How did you make the nose? It's brilliant

[@Diegovianadealbuquer]

Congratulations for your work, very nice! What model do you use pencil and graphite? Sorry my english is that I am brazilian and I'm still learning Thank you

[@ivansutton]

It is awesome. What did you use for drawing the nose? Did you use the same pencil? cause it looks really black. I use charcoal and I cannot get that kind of black..

[@susan9100]

Very nice work!

[@sanjayvidal8627]

you can use black color pencil or the 9b pencil

[@saaukegirllover]

did you do the nose with pencil or charcoal looks really good

[@miss-athletic4052]

your gifted

[@xSk8r4LyF3x]

You're* Sorry for being a Nazi but it's not hard at all.

[@sasssuke]

You left-handed ? Damn you could make great tutorials.

[@D17rulez]

I used a 6B pencil for that one ;)

[@Traitos]

Any tips for a lefty to prevent smudging? I've tried using a kind of "bridge" if you will to lift my wrist off the page but it didn't work out.

[@Darkfalla]

i notice you were also using a charcoal pencil, but what was the other charcoal pencil? aren't they the same or are they different?

[@CraftsUnicorn]

how long have you been drawing bcause you are VERY VERY talented

[@bloodspyder10]

at 7:32 the nose looks shiny.. did you use any clearcoat during the drawing or something??

[@memyselfcomments]

do you ever use an eraser to do the highlighing parts? or is it all just pencil and shading?

[@ftang8607]

I wonder what do you do if you make a mistake? Dark lines usually can't really be erased right?

[@123gymart]

I've only just seen the pencils that you use could you tell me where I could find these and what softness are they? :)

[@muggiwara_anime]

hey i liked ur drawing style u're really good. by the way can u tell me what drawing supplies u used i just started drawing and wanna know

[@thebluephoenixhpthg]

You are an amazing drawer :)

[@koi__777]

so cute awesome work!!

[@davidholt2335]

Thank you - Lovely work

[@MaipuruSyrup]

In Australia we call those mechanical pencils 'pacers'. Less of a mouthful that way.

[@ALexxCan22]

hey! i try to draw fur all the time but it always smears how can i get it to like lol not smear? ur a really great artist

[@Buraion]

i pretty sure that was a graphite pencil, and a tool used for blending

[@bisleydoo4659]

Brilliant!
